TooOld Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I finished this one a couple of weeks ago and finally had time to take some photos . The last NASCAR kit I built was back in the early 70's when I built some of the MPC kits so this was basically all new to me . I hinged the hood and trunk and added a bunch of details to the engine and interior , most of which will never be seen again so I added a few extra photos at the end of this post . Paint is Tamiya TS-23 Light Blue cleared with TS-13 . Overall a really nice kit , too bad it was such a limited run . All comments are welcome , thanks for looking ! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Rivard Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Bob, I am a huge fan of your work. Your w.i.p. was a pure delight to follow and what you have done pushes the realism through the ceiling. The ultimate lesson in scale model building, period.

Lot's of do overs during the build , I started it back on Thanksgiving ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar maniac 74 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Bob, Great build especially the upholstery on the seat. If you enjoy the mopars and the salvino kit all his chrysler kits are pretty much the same. That's why the 2 piece chassis with pin holes to move the wheel base. Then he puts the different engine in it and wheels and here you go. Not sure about about other car makes in the 70s era because I only build the mopars. I do know his 80s kits are monogram kits w new decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're basically the same as MPC kits from the 70's with new bodies , same type of chassis/suspension with an updated generic roll cage/interior and engine . They change the valve covers and intake for different kits but the rest is the same . 16 hours ago, Metaldrumm said: Love it great work and love the new salvino kits.
